Mio The Campus Sleeping Beauty

◀Prologue▶

❇❇❇

It's been a quite fine day in Tokyo, Japan. Cherry blossoms painted the sidewalks pink while the warm breeze of springtime lingers the air and it means one thing on the students of Sakuragaoka no Kōkō, -first day of school.

A girl with a straight pitch black hair that falls just above her waist wearing a casual complete Sakuragaoka uniform consists of a navy blue blazer with a solid white buttoned shirt under the blazer, a light blue ribbon, a light steel blue skirt, black stockings, and maroon shoes, timidly enter the gates of the prestigious high school at a slow pace. Afraid to draw much attention, she carefully step inside the sea of students, silently dodging mingling pupils with head tilted down, facing the polished marble floor.

She slide on a wooden door with number "4" and letter "B" carved in front, entering a room with loud chattering of girls mixed with obnoxious laughter of groups of boys, bragging about their vacations and stuff.

Her gray-blue orbs glistened as she meet two familiar faces, glowing in her presence.

"Mio!!" A girl with a light-brown hair that slightly touches the edge of her shirt's collar, greet her.

The girl's bangs was pulled back with a yellow hairband and two longer locks of hair fall at the ends of her hairband and touch her shoulders. She has a hazel eyes, similar to her hair. Her uniform was noticeably untucked and her blazer was unbuttoned as well. She's standing near the window with her elbow propping on the corner of the sliding glass.

"Morning Mio." Then a blonde with sapphire-blue eyes, and a very fair complexion that the other girls lack, waves at her. She's playing with her long wavy tress while sitting near the light-brown headed girl.

She immediately approach her two blooming bestfriends with smile across her pink painted lips. Dropping her bag on chair close the girls, she face them.

"Good morning Mugi!" She hug the blonde, then spin her heel to face the brunette. "Good morning Ritsu!" And hug her as well.

"You've grown fat! Look at those chubby cheeks!" Ritsu pinch her cheeks while making faces. Typical Ritsu. She thought.

"Stop squeezing her to death, Ritsu!" Mugi pull her away from Ritsu and hug her in the waist. "I miss so much, Mio!"

"Hey stop strangling her!" Ritsu protest. "She my teddy!" Then Ritsu hug her by the shoulder.

"G-guys, its e-embarrassing." Mio shrink between her two friends with a flush face. But her friends didn't care about the people surrounding them.

They're always like this. Constricting her petite body with bear-hugs every time they meet. They love to cuddle her because they know she won't complain. She never fuss about anything. Too shy to refuse. Too scared to reject. Too afraid to say no.

But they're boding moment was interrupted, when a beautiful prim maiden enter the room with flashing grin on her red lips. "Good morning students of 4-B. I'm Miss Sawako, I'll be your adviser for this year."

She start the class with brief introduction about their subject and discuss further details.

Mio, interested on the topic, attentively listening while taking some important notes. While Ritsu on her right, is dozing off in her desk with a book in front of her, concealing her face. And in Mio's left side, is Mugi boringly listening to Miss Sawako.

I guess things don't change after all. Mio thought and let out a sigh.

The class went fast and so thus other classes and the bell signaling recess ring before they knew it. The three girls follow the crowd of students approaching the cafeteria.
